URL confUrl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource( _dbConf );
Where _dbConf is a String containing the Configuration attribute with a value of "file:./META-INF/database.xml". Unfortunately, the resource is never found. getSystemResource() also does not work. Any suggestions or comments? Help, please.
As an aside, I found that the castor-jdo-plugin.jar build was commented out with a note that it needed to be a .sar. That is not necessarily a requirement. To support independent deployable application archives that would have different tables and objects they were mapped to, Castor requires a separate database.xml and mapping.xml for each one. So the thought is a Castor MBean, along with a database.xml and mapping.xml file would be bundled in a .sar along with any EJBs and their respective .jars. The castor-jdo-plugin.jar would be copied into the jboss/lib directory along with castor.jar. Then the jboss-service.xml could specify both (as depicted below) to reference the required archives, and initialize an instance of the CastorJDOImpl MBean with a different database.xml and mapping.xml for each. Now I don't know if there are any other weird issues preventing this, but I looked at the Castor code last year and it seemed to support multiple databases.
<server>
<classpath codebase="lib" archives="castor.jar, castor-jdo-plugin.jar, jboss-system.jar, jboss-jmx.jar, jndi.jar, xercesImpl.jar"/>
<mbean code="org.jboss.jdo.castor.CastorJDOImpl" name="DefaultDomain:service=CastorJDO,name=AIAB-Common">
<attribute name="Configuration">file:META-INF/database.xml</attribute>
<attribute name="JndiName">jdo/aiabcommon</attribute>
<attribute name="LockTimeout">10000</attribute>
<attribute name="LoggingEnabled">true</attribute>
<attribute name="CommonClassPath">false</attribute>
</mbean>
</server>
Oleg Nitz is the author of the Castor MBean, and if he and no one else minds, and if I can figure out how to get it to work, I'd like to make the modifications. Any thoughts? Thank you again for the help.
Fred.
